Right after Paige's party, Mallory and mommy met daddy over at the Simpson's house. The girls had another craft night, while the daddy's watched football. Since Mommy and Mrs. Erin loved the turkey shirts so much, we decided to do one for Christmas...

Mallory was excited to paint, so...

she started all by herself...

"Mallory, are you sure you are supposed to be doing that?"

"I did it all by myself!"

Now, for a little painting on the paper...

Mallory did a great job, and after a lot of hard work, her shirt turned out really cute...

Mallory ran the entire time! She mostly chased the crowd of other players. When I told her she needed to get the ball, she said, "But, they won't give it to me." I told her Soccer isn't about sharing :o) They aren't going to give it to you, you have to get it yourself.

We were talking after the game how it's funny how we tell kids to take turns and share, but in situations like this, it's the opposite...

We started getting in the Christmas spirit today by decorating the house...

Mallory has been asking to watch "The Polar Express," but we have been telling her she had to wait until we started decorating for Christmas. So, that was the first thing she wanted to do! And, she even had some friends watch it with her!

It was so fun to watch her look at all the things we would get out of the boxes...she wanted to touch everything, and she was so careful...

This was HILARIOUS!!! When I told Mallory it was time for us to decorate the tree...she started adding some of her favorite things...Baby Angie, Daisy's Christmas toys,

the clip right out of her hair and this candy cane ornament...she knew she was being super silly, and she loved that Daddy and Mommy thought she was so funny!

Now for some real ornaments...

That little grin is priceless...

Mallory is really excited about Christmas this year, and we are going to have so much fun over the next few weeks leading up to it!!

Trying to Get Back in the Swing of Things...

Before our wonderful twins arrived, I was pretty good about posting regularly. Since the Moore household has been pretty busy, I have slacked on our family blog. I am going to try to get back into the swing of things and post updated pictures and info as well as go back and post some of the wonderful memories we have made since Mia and Madison joined our family...
